Variational approach to low-frequency kinetic-MHD in the current coupling scheme
Joshua W. Burby, Cesare Tronci
Hybrid kinetic-MHD models describe the interaction of an MHD bulk fluid with an ensemble of hot particles, which is described by a kinetic equation. When the Vlasov description is…

From liquid crystal models to the guiding-center theory of magnetized plasmas
Cesare Tronci
Upon combining Northrop's picture of charged particle motion with modern liquid crystal theories, this paper provides a new description of guiding center dynamics (to lowest order)…

Variational principles for the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations
A. J. Brizard, C. Tronci
The Lagrange, Euler, and Euler-Poincaré variational principles for the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations are presented. Each variational principle presents a different approa…
